Helene-PIA09015.jpgJust like an old "apple": Helene (False Colors)58 visiteCaption NASA:"The Cassini spacecraft reveals details on the surface of small, irregularly shaped Helene in this close-up view, obtained during the Spacecraft's closest encounter with this moon during its four-year primary mission.
Helene (32 Km, or 20 miles across) is a Trojan Moon, sharing Dione's orbit but staying 60° or 400.000 Km (about 250.000 miles) ahead of the much larger moon.
The image was taken in visible green light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on July 20, 2007. The view was acquired at a distance of approx. 39.000 Km (such as about 24.000 miles) from Helene and at a Sun-Helene-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 61°.
Image scale is roughly 231 meters (758 feet) per pixel".MareKromiumAgo 29, 2007

Saturn-PIA09012.jpgIncoming Storm57 visiteCaption NASA:"A great vortex, ringed by bright clouds, rolls through the Southern Skies of Saturn in this Cassini spacecraft view.
The image was taken using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of infrared light centered at 750 nanometers. The view was obtained with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on July 11, 2007 at a distance of approx. 2,8 MKM (such as about 1,8 MMs) from Saturn.
Image scale is roughly 17 Km (about 10 miles) per pixel".MareKromiumAgo 24, 2007

Rhea_Dione-PIA09011.jpgThe "Crowded" Saturnian Sky59 visiteCaption NASA:"A string of icy moons stretches across the Saturn System in this view from nearly edge-on with the Ring-Plane.
Nearest to the Cassini spacecraft is Rhea (1528 Km, or about 949 miles across) below center; then little Atlas (32 Km, or about 20 miles across), huddled close to the narrow F-Ring. Dione (1126 Km, or about 700 miles across) floats in the distance beyond.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on July 8, 2007 at a distance of approx. 2,9 MKM (about 1,8 MMs) from Saturn. Image scale is roughly 14 Km (about 9 miles) per pixel on Rhea and 19 Km (about 12 miles) per pixel on Dione".MareKromiumAgo 23, 2007

Enceladus-PIA09003.jpgEnceladus (true colors - elab. Lunexit)57 visiteCaption NASA:"This nearly equatorial view shows cratered regions on Enceladus in the central part of its Leading Hemisphere and high Northern Latitudes. Much of the rest of the geologically active moon is relatively crater free and covered by fractures and folds.
North on Enceladus is up.
The image was taken in polarized green light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on June 28, 2007 at a distance of approx. 293.000 Km (about 182.000 miles) from Enceladus.
Image scale is roughly 2 Km (a little more than 1 mile) per pixel".MareKromiumAgo 11, 2007

The_Rings-PIA08997.jpgOther "Brothers in the Night": Pan and Pandora58 visiteCaption NASA:"The Cassini spacecraft skims past Saturn's Ring-Plane at a low angle, spotting two ring moons on the far side.
Pan (26 Km, or about 16 miles across) sits within the Encke Gap right of center. Beyond the F-Ring hovers Pandora (84 Km, or approx. 52 miles across).
This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the Rings from less than 1° above the Ring-Plane.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on June 14, 2007 at a distance of approx. 1,6 MKM (about 1 MMs) from Saturn. Image scale is roughly 10 Km (about 6 miles) per pixel".MareKromiumAgo 07, 2007

The_Rings-PIA08999.jpgSidelong View61 visiteCaption NASA:"Saturn's enchanting rings display crisply defined edges and strong contrast on their unilluminated side. Atlas (32 Km, or about 20 miles across) sits on the far side of the Rings above center, between the "A" and "F" Rings. This view was acquired from about 1° above the Ring-Plane.
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on June 21, 2007 at a distance of approx. 2,4 MKM (about 1,5 MMs) from Atlas. Image scale is roughly 14 Km (about 9 miles) per pixel".MareKromiumAgo 07, 2007
